Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are set to use their original wedding venue from 20 years ago to celebrate their marriage, after the stars finally tied the knot over the weekend, according to reports.
Jennifer, 52 and Ben, 49 eloped in a secret ceremony in Las Vegas on Saturday, after they got engaged in April 2022 – for the second time.
In 2002, the Marry Me star and Batman actor got engaged and planned to tie the knot in an intimate ceremony at Ben’s 87-acre property in Savannah, Georgia. Sadly they called off their wedding in 2003 and went on to split a year later.
Now two decades on, it’s been reported Jennifer and Ben are about to follow their original plan almost identically to celebrate their new nuptials with their friends.
The couple had planned out all of their original big day with security and police lined up, as well as all the guests invited, before they called it off. They both went on to marry other people and have children of their own, before reuniting last year.
According to TMZ, the upcoming party will see all of the A-Listers’ pals and family join them at the 10,000-square-foot house on Ben’s estate.

Ben and Jen married on Saturday in the famous Little White Wedding Chapel, on what has been dubbed the ‘best possible’ day.
Jennifer released a statement to share the happy news and wrote: ‘We did it. Love is beautiful. Love is kind. And it turns out love is patient. Twenty years patient.

‘Exactly what we wanted. Last night we flew to Vegas, stood in line for a licence with four other couples, all making the same journey to the wedding capital of the world. Behind us two men held hands and held each other.’
She continued: ‘They were right when they said, “all you need is love”. We are so grateful to have that in abundance, a new wonderful family of five amazing children and a life that we have never had more reason to look forward to.’
